Kaiser Permanente State-of-the-heart care
Every heart deserves high-quality care. From preventive screenings and primary care to advanced cardiac procedures, with Kaiser Permanente, your heart is in excellent hands.
Kaiser Permanente is Colorado’s leading nonprofit1 health plan and one of the state’s largest health care providers. We take a different approach to health care by combining care and coverage. This means that Kaiser Permanente’s 1,200+ Colorado doctors and health plan benefits are connected. Our care teams collaborate using a shared electronic health record to provide world-class care.
Recognizing and treating an unexpected heart problem — fast
During a routine annual physical, Rich Maloy’s primary care doctor discovered a congenital heart defect that had gone undetected his entire life. Watch to learn how Rich’s Kaiser Permanente care team helped catch his condition early and perform a timely, lifesaving surgery.
“It's a very special thing when you can have that…level of trust with your primary care doctor…I think this is a unique aspect of Kaiser Permanente with this integrated model because the doctors are focused on the patient. – Rich Maloy, Kaiser Permanente Colorado member
Supporting healthier, longer lives
Prevention is at the heart of Kaiser Permanente’s approach to cardiac care. We understand the importance of regularly checking heart health numbers and tracking them over time. Automatic reminders from your electronic health record make it easier for you to stay current with preventive screenings. This helps us spot problems earlier and start treatment sooner.
Our connected model of primary care doctors, specialists, and care team members consulting seamlessly is why Kaiser Permanente leads the state in controlling high blood pressure2 and our members are 33% less likely to experience premature death due to heart disease.3

Kaiser Permanente is investing in our southern Colorado footprint. Construction is underway on a brand-new, 15,500-square-foot medical office that will replace our current Pueblo North location. Scheduled to open in late 2025, the new Pueblo North medical offices will provide more space to deliver primary care, some specialty care, and pharmacy, lab, and imaging services under one roof.
